ZUHURAT (Turkish)
appearing out of the blue
unexpected passenger ferries
possibly hosting a fete of phantoms
they just emerged
in olden days
in Istanbul
unassumed
saviors
for those who had missed
a deadline
or a bread line
unassumingly
not hoping for a life line
waiting at a Bosporus jetty
i feel like one
at this age
an assumption
soon to become an apparition
joining other phantoms
reserving a seat
at a fete
on a zuhurat ferry
holding court
to recite my poetry
to an applause
denied me before
ahmet cafer celebiler
